Not entering to talk shyt…y’all won the B1G and had a great year. Got the OSU monkey off your backs too.

sadly the big ten just doesn’t have the same recruiting grounds as the southern schools. Even OSU knows this. 2014 is getting to be ten years ago….

looking forward to next season…just sucks that the big ten title and playoff appearance is the cap for the big ten right now. Even OSU struggles against the southern powerhouses.

The hell is wrong with you?
I mean he’s not wrong, they’ve had their stinkers but they’ve also been competitive with Clemson in those games and beat them last year. The difference being that teams like OSU and Bama are loaded enough on offense to throw the ball against Bama and Georgia. Just by the very nature of Cade being our QB we never had a chance of beating either team. The good news is that we have the weapons on offense and the QB. Now whether we will have the defense next year is a whole different question.

Even with JJ we still lose by 2 TD's UGA front 7 just mauled us (Dean was the best player on the field last night). Sidenote JJ has to learn to get down he took some shots last night:mjcry:. I do like that JJ, Edwards, Blake, Anthony, & Morris stayed behind to watch UGA celebrate remember that feeling use it as motivation. I'm excited to see the younger guys on defense athletically they'll more speed on the field the schedule is soft enough for them to grow. Our toughest games home vs PSU vs MSU @Iowa @OSU we have a great chance of being 10-1 or 11-0 going into the Shoe next year. Have to stay healthy of course JJ has to win that job for the offense to take the next step. He opens layers of the offense that Cade just can't. Be thankful for Cade he was the right QB for this team but next year is different. This was a great season when put in perspective unranked question marks around Harbaugh job security, Beat OSU won the BT championship overachieved with a roster that was probably a year away anyway. Another 9-3 season wouldn't have changed the narrative Darius Clemons said it out own mouth. I grateful for the Seniors but it's time to close this chapter:yeshrug:

This season was great but, if Michigan wants a seat at the table, instead of just being in the room as a server, then they have to level up.

Offensively, I'm a McCarthyist/JJ truther. Y'all saw what happened last night. What more needs to be said?:manny:

Outside of Ojabo, Hutchinson, and Hill the defense is filled with warm bodies. Macdonald and Clinkscale (Helow and Bellamy too) worked a minor miracle with the back 7. They've already shown a willingness to play the young guys (like Colson and Moore), unlike Don Brown who would rather play walkons, so I'm optimistic about year 2 under their regime. McGregor's supposed to be a working man's Hutchinson, so let's hope he was shadowing his routine all year. Ever since Charlton somebody has always emerged out of nowhere (Winovich, Uche, Paye, Ojabo) and there are a few candidates.

Like, I said great season. Far better than expected.

Harbaugh wants a slush fund for the Nil program. He knows if we want to close the talent gap got to make this happen. In return boosters are willing but want more access to practice locker room on field passes ect...:francis:. I get it from the booster perspective, but I can understand Jim reluctance to it boosters can ruin a program look at Texas for example

osu gets the talent, but even as much as they get, it’s a marked difference between them and the top 1%

Ummm.... no

yes, there is a difference, the gap isn’t huge, but big enough that you won’t be able to compete year in and out with that sec boogie man waiting at the end of the hallway

it didn’t matter who our qb was we don’t have the horses, none of our wrs would see much playing time at Bama or osu except bell, and not sure he would start. Williams is at Bama bc he couldn’t get burn, and between Harvin Marrison jr and smith-n-word (however you spell his name) that dude is a fukkin stud we don’t have wrs like that, we don’t have lbs like dean we are a ways away from competing, as sorry as Miami is, they have more talent than we do, and with so much about to graduate to the league or to wearing a button down and slacks 5 days a week we bout to take a step back

Texas has its own issues independent of too many cooks in the kitchen. Jim knows we gotta get this nil shyt right or it’s going to be issues in the long term

Our schedule is soft next year offensively we'll be better defense yeah a step back. Losing Ojabo Hill Hutch the rest are replaceable by much better talent in waiting
